When to take Yasmin

The taking of emergency contraception is different from the taking of basic medicine. There are certain regulations on the starting time of taking it and the interval between taking it. Because only in this way can the contraceptive measures be played to the greatest extent and avoid accidental pregnancy. So, when is the best time to take Yasmin?

The best effect of Yasmin is to start taking the medicine on the first day of the natural menstrual cycle (that is, the first day of menstrual bleeding). You can also start on the 2nd-5th day. In this case, it is recommended to add a barrier contraceptive method within the first 7 days of the first pill cycle.

Then be sure to swallow the tablets with a small amount of liquid at about the same time each day in the order indicated on the package. Take 1 tablet per day for 21 consecutive days. When you start taking the next box of medicine 7 days after stopping the medicine, withdrawal bleeding will generally occur during this period. Generally, bleeding starts 2-3 days after the last pill in the cycle, and bleeding may not be over when the next box of pills is started. This is a normal phenomenon when taking short-term contraceptives.

What you need to pay attention to when taking Yasmin:

1. In any case, the medication should not be discontinued for more than 7 days;

2. It needs to be taken continuously for 7 days to maintain adequate suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis.

To delay menstruation, women can take a box of pills and then take the next box of pills without a medication-free observation period. This can delay menstruation until any time before the second box of pills is taken according to intention, reducing the possibility of breakthrough bleeding or spotting during the medication period. After the usual 7-day break, you can resume taking Yasmin regularly.

If you want to change your current menstrual period and move it to another day of the week, it is recommended to shorten the medication-free observation period to the desired time. The shorter the medication-free observation period, the greater the risk of no withdrawal bleeding and breakthrough bleeding and spotting (such as causing delayed menstruation) during the medication period of the next box of pills.

Finally, the editor recommends that women who take Yasmin emergency contraception should take it according to the appropriate usage and dosage to achieve the actual effect of contraception.
